Investment

Devonport represents a compelling opportunity for businesses to invest, offering a strategic location, well-developed infrastructure, a diverse economy, a supportive business environment, and exceptional quality of life for residents and visitors alike.

Devonport is currently thriving. Council has invested heavily into the economic development program – LIVING CITY, which has kick-started a strong period of growth in Devonport. Utility providers such as TasPorts, owner of both the Sea Port and Airport are investing heavily to ensure that its facilities can cater for the strong growth expected. In particular, a $240M upgrade to the Devonport port is currently underway to cater
for an expected increase of an additional 160,000 sea passengers annually as well as large increases in both containerised and agricultural freight forecasted. Similarly, the State Government has invested in public facilities such as a new hospitality training facility, new library and a $40M upgrade to the Mersey hospital currently under construction.

Together, with a supportive business community, Tasmania’s best events and convention centre, and enviable lifestyle, Devonport offers a premier location to establish or expand business and industry.
